It is our desire for students to deepen their relationship with Jesus so that we can effectively live and love like Jesus in our community.
Join us on Sunday Nights from 5:30-7 PM as we grow in our walk with Jesus. Our time together will include worship through song, down-to-earth teaching from God’s Word, and building community together in small groups.
You can also learn about our special events, camps, and service opportunities. There is always something going on at New Life Students, so make sure that you come check it out on Sunday Night!
